When Li Du went back to pay the fee, the line opened up for him. The treasure hunters gave way so that he could cut in front of the line.
Bell waved his hand and said, "This is the honor you deserve. You've helped the guys in our industry to vent their anger."
The treasure hunters nodded in agreement. "It's good to see those sons of b * tches crying. They deserve this day." "Let's see if they still dare to look down on us in the future!" "Haha, I still want to laugh when I think of them!"
Li Du walked to the front of the line. There was no need to be too humble and low-key in America. Different abilities deserved different treatment.
He walked over and waved to Bill Shoreton. After using his ID to get the authority to clean up the storage units, he handed it to Bill and said, "You handle the rest."
Bill was stunned, and then smiled in surprise. "I'm officially your assistant?"
Li Du raised his finger and said, "Three months of probation."
Bill nodded. "No problem at all. Just watch me, boss!"
Leaving the rest to Bill, Li Du did not participate in any more storage related matters.
For the time being, he needed to disappear from the storage auction industry. Although he had indeed helped the treasure hunters vent their anger, the ability he had shown in this confrontation had made the other treasure hunters wary.
On the plus side, the treasure hunters would not dare to go against him in the future. On the minus side, everyone had formed the impression that he was a "schemer."
This was not a good impression. He had to keep a low profile and fade it. In addition, Turis had really hurt him, so he did not want to get involved in this industry for the time being.
Turis was the first treasure hunter he knew who had been kind to him. At that time, everyone had looked down on him, and Turis had held a party and invited him and Hans to attend.
In the end, today, Turis had betrayed them for an unknown amount of money. It was really heartbreaking.
Li Du was a sentimental person. Otherwise, he would not have helped the Flagstaff treasure hunters. But Turis's actions had disappointed him.
Everything was for the sake of profit. The remaining people continued to follow him, probably because of the profit, or because the other party did not give them enough, so they did not betray him.
This feeling made him very depressed, so he did not even have the mood to check the storage units.
However, he had a rough idea of what was in the storage units. After this auction, he would be a member of the Ten Million Club.
He had taken a total of eight storage units. It was not a lot, but each of them was worth a fortune.
The matter of handling the goods in the warehouse was handed over to Bill Shoreton. This youth was clever and had a knack for it. If Lu Guan cooperated with him, they could handle this matter well.
Li Du and Hans went to the auction organized by Sotheby's. Li Du was just there to join in the fun. There was nothing that he was interested in at the auction, and there was nothing that he could pick up. Hence, he was just there to broaden his horizons.
It was October after the auction, and the war in the Kokang Zone finally came to a halt. The government and the guerrillas signed a ceasefire agreement, with one side reorganizing the army, and the other recuperating.
In this way, Li Du was ready to go to Myanmar to look for the jade mine that might still exist.
Even if this jade mine did not exist, he still had to go. The little bug's ability was very suitable for picking out jade. Before, he had delayed going because the waters of this industry were too deep. Now, he had the ability to test the waters.
Brother Wolf, Godzilla, and the Markelov brothers. Li Du brought his elite subordinates and took a plane to Mozambique.
He had not seen Remonin for a long time. This time, he took the opportunity to see him to thank him for his help in dealing with the Dripping Blood Gang. At the same time, he gave him some money and took some things from him.
This time, he was not only going to take the diamonds, but also some weapons, weapons that might be useful in Myanmar.
The situation in Myanmar was chaotic as a whole. The jade industry was a mix of good and bad people. Many people in the industry were outlaws. Without sufficient armed forces, going there was no different from sending money to their deaths.
Unlike before, this time Li Du could arrive in Mozambique in an almost official manner.
He took a private plane to the capital airport first, and then transferred to the city of Avarati, one of the few larger cities in Mozambique. Remonin's military headquarters had been transferred there.
Avarati had a military camp built by the British in the early days, and the city had also developed around it. Avarati meant 'land of iron and blood' in the local tribal language.
The private plane landed at the city's small airport. As it descended, Li Du saw at least a thousand black soldiers waiting for him in neat rows.
This time, the standard was different. The thousands of soldiers were very impressive, especially when Li Du walked out of the cabin. As far as the eye could see, there were many capable young black men. A large number of heads and green military uniforms were on the ground, stretching as far as the eye could see!
Someone quickly rolled out the red carpet, and a group of military officers saluted Li Du and accompanied him off the plane.
The Markelov brothers behind him were shocked. "F * ck, the boss really has a lot of face here!"
Firecracker chewed his gum and laughed. "What do you think? The boss's network is amazing, and the wealth he has is even more amazing. Seriously, guys, if you follow the boss, you'll have a good life. "
Young Markelov straightened his suit and then rolled his eyes at him. "Don't knock us, we're not like that idiot Turis. Loyalty is our life, right, brothers?"
The big Ukrainian men behind him said in unison, "Yes!"
Big Markelov turned back and said, "Hurry up and tidy up your clothes, don't talk too loudly, don't embarrass the boss! Let's go! "
Li Du got off the plane, and loud military music sounded.
Remonin was very good at putting on a show. When they first met, there were only six members of the military band, but this time there were fifty or sixty of them, and they were more professional, and the music was more beautiful.
Li Du was at one end of the red carpet, and Remonin was in the middle. Then they shook hands, and everything looked very real. Finally, Li Du found that someone was taking pictures of them.
This made him laugh. "Will we still be in the papers?"
Remonin said proudly, "Of course, this time it's a super-rich Chinese American businessman visiting Avarati, and maybe he'll bring a large investment."
Li Du said, "Investment in what?"
Remonin chuckled and said, "Invest in my army. As long as my army develops, the security of this city will be better. With better security, more people will be willing to live here. With more people, there will be more business, and more companies will move here."
He was right. Li Du nodded and said, "General, you're very knowledgeable now. That's exactly right."
Remonin looked up proudly. "Of course, I'm an excellent black politician!"
Li Du was speechless.
